Chapter 36: I'm Scared

Despite my years of commitment and dedication, I didn’t know whether I was passionate about it. At least not the way Griffin was passionate about what he did. That knowledge bothered me more than I was willing to admit. What would I do, if not become a lawyer? It was all I knew. But in that moment, I decided I wanted to figure it out.

 

“She lights up my life. Fills the ache in my soul…” Griffin sang

 

Fear, stronger than anything I’d ever felt before, gripped my heart. I didn’t have a plan. I felt alone, with no direction, no idea where to go next. Then I studied Griffin, watched as his fingers caressed the keys while his voice stroked the air. Watched the joy and ache that crossed his expression as he sang. It felt as though I could read his thoughts. That brought me up short. We barely knew each other.
